    1. linda was very proud of hoover because he accepted dog treats from me towards the end of their photoshoot. he was terribly shy of children and men. it's why a lot of hoover's photos are from a distance.

  2. Beautiful shots. I was so sad to hear of the fire. At least their owner will have some awesome memories.

    1. that's very true, unfortunately. and i have one more remembrance post drafted that i need to finish. it seems that, because i've taken a part of them in my photos, they take a part of me when they go.

    1. thank you. the latest news is that their owner is beginning to improve a bit. seemed to be more with it today. it will be a long, slow recovery for her -- no doubt with rough spots.
